Are you working through CPT with a mental healthcare provider and find yourself switching between your phone and paper worksheets during sessions? CPT Coach brings your cognitive processing therapy materials to a desktop, letting you access assignments, worksheets, and symptom tracking from a single window on your computer. Built by the VA's National Center for PTSD and the DoD's National Center for Telehealth and Technology, the app supports the full course of CPT treatment as a companion to professional care: never as a substitute for it.
CPT Coach on PC puts your therapy assignments and worksheets in one place, designed to work alongside your sessions with a licensed mental healthcare provider. The desktop version keeps your treatment materials organized and accessible without the friction of toggling between devices or hunting for paper forms.
What CPT Coach Contains
The app houses the core support materials for a complete course of Cognitive Processing Therapy. You'll find between-session assignments, readings, mobile versions of CPT worksheets, and a symptom-monitoring tool to track your PTSD symptoms over time. Everything is structured to support your work with your therapist, not to replace professional guidance. The materials follow the CPT framework your provider is using with you in sessions.
Desktop Workflow and Assignment Management
Running CPT Coach for Windows PC letting you keep the app open on your desktop while you work through assignments at your own pace. You can type responses into worksheets, photograph handwritten work if you prefer pen and paper, and store your entries in one place. The app works to help you complete between-session work and return to your assignments over multiple visits without losing your progress. Because you're on a full computer, you have the option to keep CPT Coach running beside other windows (your email, your therapist's notes, or reference materials) without constantly reaching for your phone.
Symptom Tracking and Session Support
The PTSD symptom-monitoring feature lets you log your symptoms and track patterns over the course of your treatment. This record becomes useful material to review with your therapist between sessions, giving you both concrete data on how your processing work is affecting your day-to-day experience. The tracking tool is built into CPT Coach for computer use, letting you revisit and update your entries as your treatment progresses.
Considerations Before You Start
Users have reported that the app works best when your provider is actively guiding your CPT treatment. Some find the interface could be more intuitive, and there have been stability issues on certain devices, crashing when switching between worksheets or adding multiple emotions to a single entry. Before installing CPT Coach on PC, confirm with your therapist that you have the right version for your treatment plan, since CPT+A and CPT-C are distinct protocols. If you encounter technical problems, reinstalling can sometimes reset your saved work, so it's worth understanding the backup and data options before you begin.

FAQ
Is CPT Coach meant to replace therapy or work on its own?
No. The app is a companion tool for people already working with a mental healthcare provider who specializes in Cognitive Processing Therapy. It's designed to support your assignments and symptom tracking between sessions, not to deliver therapy by itself. Always work directly with your therapist when using this app.
Can I type my worksheet responses, or do I have to write by hand and photograph them?
CPT Coach allows both. You can type responses into the worksheets within the app. The photo feature lets you capture handwritten work if you prefer that method, though users note the zoom and editing features for photos could use improvement.
What happens to my data if the app crashes?
Crashes can sometimes force you to reinstall, and reinstalling may reset your saved entries. Before you begin, ask your therapist about backing up your work or keeping a separate record of key responses, especially if you're on a device with reported stability issues.
Can my therapist see my entries if I share my device or send them my worksheets?
The app currently does not have a built-in feature to share worksheets directly with your provider. You'll need to discuss with your therapist how to share your completed work, whether by photographing it, exporting it, or reviewing it together during sessions.
Does CPT Coach work offline?
The source material does not specify offline capability. Check the app description in your app store or ask your provider's office about internet requirements before installing CPT Coach for computer.
